Jinnai (Nakamura) comes into contact with Jiu (Iura Arata), who is disguised as a homeless person. He receives something like a pill and talks about Saiki (Takahashi).
A police officer was shot dead in a busy square after his gun was stolen by a doper, who then took hostages and barricaded himself in a shopping center.
When the Special Investigation Unit rushed to the scene after receiving the report, they found the perpetrator continuing to mutter incoherent things.
Saiki, who is not happy with Jinnai's method of trying to settle things before the hostages are harmed, volunteers to persuade him. He goes after the criminal with Watanuki (Yuko Araki) and Shibahara ( Yudai Toyoda), but their persuasion is in vain, and the criminal points a gun at Saiki and the others.
With the quick thinking of Watanuki and Shibahara, they think they have cornered the culprit, but the culprit uses a supernatural power that seems to allow him to teleport, disrupting everything. Saiki and the others are in a desperate situation...
The story is based on the same-titled novel (Kadokawa Bunko) by Kizaki Chiaki, who made her debut as a novelist after winning the grand prize at the 20th Dengeki Novel Prize with "Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens." Set in a near-future Japan where a mysterious new drug called "DOPE" is rampant, Saiki Yuto (Takahashi), a rookie narcotics agent of the secret Narcotics Control Department's Special Investigation Division (Special Investigation Division), and his trainer Jinnai Teppei (Nakamura), attempt to solve a mysterious case.
